Change password (first login) requires old annoying password, but user-> password does not

Sun Jun 08, 2025 10:13 pm

Since the annoying passwords were introduced some time ago, the units also require us to change the password on first login, and, even more annoyingly, they ask us to type the annoying password a second time.

but if you just go System -> Users -> (dblClick the user) -> Password, you can set a new password without having to re-magnify/photograph/zoom-lens, re-read, and re-type the annoying password (yes they have got slightly less hard to read but you get the point).


Mikrotik, could you possibly remove the 'Old Password' requirement on that first-login of Winbox with the factory password?
